Digital Non-Linearity Calibration for ADCs With Redundancy Using a New LUT Approach

This paper presents a novel Look-up Table (LUT) calibration technique for static non-linearity compensation in analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with digital redundancy, such as Successive Approximation Register (SAR), Algorithmic, Sub-ranging or Pipeline ADCs. The method compensates the performance limitations of the conventional LUT approach in presence of comparison noise and/or non-monotonic...
